RE: You're Not Good Enough To Be Disappointed.

in #life6 years ago (edited)

I think if you focus your energy (time) and frustration on working harder and being consistent and smart about your work then you will be able to add extra fuel to the fire and this will lead to the results you wanted. If you've ever listened to Michael Jordan, he says that one of the biggest disappointments in his life was not being good enough to make his high school basketball team his freshman year. Can you believe that one of the best basketball players of all time did not make his high school basketball team his freshman year? He used all that energy, frustration, and anger and this allowed him to work twice as hard as other people until he became one of the best basketball players in the world. To me Michael Jordan is the best, but some will disagree.

Sort:  

Oh, I like Jordan. I am not a fan of basketball, but back when I was young, my parents got me this nice pair of white canvas shoes with Michael Jordan branded on them. I loved it. I've also read a bit about him back in highschool! He sure is living proof that one's failure in the past doesn't have to define them.

Definitely, Michael Jordan is a great inspiration. He has been called the best player in basketball and his response has been "People talk about all the baskets I made, but what people don't know is that I had to miss 9000 to get that perfect shot." It's a very interesting way of thinking about things.

Michael Jordan is a great inspiration

He absolutely is @hobo.media

Absolutely.. i think the Iceberg illusion is common. We see the success without easily registering the amount of work input to become that successful.

Brilliant comment @the4thmusketeer

We never know what will motivate us, right?

Thank you for sharing your view on this particular issue. Appreciate it a lot.
